Where is he on the poster, could you point it out?
In the upper right corner above the "purple T-Rex".
I'm only about 80% sure that's a purple T-rex, how can you tell Terrorsour is there with him?

I wish people would stop asking for a Titan Grandus before Hasbro gets any crazy ideas. I don't know where people got the idea he's some sort of giant when he's a pretty average sized guy. He turns into a Micromaster base, not a normal base. He's smaller than a combiner, probably a little taller than Optimus Prime if not the same size. At best he might make a dense brick of a Commander class, but I think an "old Leader" would be enough, he's no Titan.

The standard cycle from development to release is roughly two years. A lot of it, mostly the first half to three-quarters I think, is spent on fine-tuning initial designs and testing of molds. You know, tweaking stuff to make it work better. Expedition (prioritizing a certain aspect of the cycle of any given figure above the others) is an option for emergencies, look up how Armada Hot Shot came to be (don't asking how his shoulders hurt).
We've also learned from Siege that they really do things up to the last minute, otherwise they couldn't have so quickly pivoted and finished out Siege with what would have been first wave Earthrise figures due to "high demand".

But that's not Beast Wars, that's Beast Machines.
Not to mention the Autobots are already outnumbered when it comes to Titans, we need another Autobot Titan to even things up.
